Guys f At last the dating tradition was re- versed and the Lady Barons got the chance to “legally” ask their favorite guy to a dance rather than dropping hints for t wo weeks prior to it. The Sadie Hawkins dance was re- vived this year and was sponsored by the Student Council. Choice, a very popular group among Barons, was a fitting selection for this occasion. Dressed in Dog Patch style, every- body entered into the spirit of things with great enthusiasm. The mysteri- ous Marrying Sam (later discovered to be Mr. Workman) appeared on the scene and joined many couples in a mock marriage ceremony, complete with wedding bands and licenses. The commons, energetically decorated in Sadie Hawkins style, provided a sound basis for the atmosphere. Unaware of the camera’s eye, Marty Praul and Lorie Schmidt take advantage of an old Sadie Hawkins tradition. While Brad Benner anticipates some good rock-n-roll, Lana Blevins seems to be thinking of something (or someone!) else. Adding to the atmosphere was this reproduc- tion of an old still, created by Kelly Wyss and Dave Conrad. Sadie Hawkins 11

Fair Fun for Everyone Put people, and lots of them, pop- corn, rides, animals, sideshows, laughter and brisk autumn weather all together and you have set the scene for the DeKalb County Fair. This year was no different to previous fairs in the fun, excitement and diver- sity it provided for a week. DeKalb students were to be seen there every night walking continuous- ly around the court square trying their luck at the games or occasional- ly losing their stomachs at the top of the many rides such as the Hurricane and Rock-O-Plane. For those more interested in dis- plays or prize winning animals, a walk through the display tents set up on South Cedar eventually led on to cat- tle, sheep, horses, etc. As usual, fair week was a great suc- cess and most of us were sad to see it end. An important part of the parade, the Marching Barons proceed with style down Main Street, receiving 2nd place for their effort. ei ri, =” Even at the fair Coach Brown can’t seem to get © Kay Warstler sings during the DeKalb County basketball out of his hands.

Barons Celebrate The start of fall brings colder tem- peratures, football, and Homecom- ing. On Friday night, October 8, the Barons achieved a 21-14 win over the Homestead Spartans to capture a Homecoming victory. During halftime the 1976-77 Homecoming queen was announced. Last year’s queen, Jan Ely Phillips, was on hand to crown her successor, Karen Schlosser. Karen’s escort was Tim Simon. Other Senior candidates were Susie Lenhard and Val Wurm. They were escorted by Kevin Bender and Lynn Duncan. The Junior class attendant was Debbie Baker with Dan Schaeffer as her escort. Jill Kuhlhorst represented the Sopho- more class with Rex Feller escorting her. A semi-formal dance was held in the commons on Saturday, October 9, to celebrate the football victory and to honor the queen and her court.
